That's the spirit, buddybud!  I think your ideas here and the custom tunnel entrance topic here

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=41&threadid=79115

may be converging on a huge step forward in the "road/rail under 'game' bridge" problem.

Your work is amazing stuff!

[blahdy 21]

now that's truly awesome! can't wait for release.

Buddybud,  I just want to congratulate you on the Sunken Highway Walls.  They work great.  I retooled the 15m sunken highways I had and made it 14m and then lined all of it.  They are extremely easy to lay with the readme tutorial and the wire outlines when placing.  I look forward to your future work.  A great BIG kudos to you on this project. 

Here have some bunnies.

Hey buddybud. Are these Transit Enabled. If they are how'd you do it? I don't see how it could be done. That's amazing if you did though...

[buddybud 63]

they are transit enabled using the technique of the ndex highway tunnel transition method. In other words you force cars into subs on one side and subs into cars on the other. the center piece is a overhanging prop which you cannot add paths to...but the two end pieces could have paths and automata added...which i have yet to do. ill figure it out eventually. the exiciting part for me is the lighted overhanging prop in the center which until now you could not render with nightlights. there was a bug with bat or the plugin manager that didint show nightlights from two of any given four directions on a prop that fully overhung its lot. smoncrie figured out a way around this and i am help testing it by putting his modding method to use.

i finished up the rough edgeds around  the sidewalks.

Try as I might with the PKG Waterfront pices, I cannot get anything under a bridge - so, what's the secret (other than that I am plain stupid)??

[buddybud 63]

rotate it

[pilotdaryl 25]

Great.  Another compeitior.  But still, competition is good for the commuinity.  And those are good for cities low on space.

[Sim shady 12]

looking good so far, the slope could still be a little more gentle, but other than that this is fantastic. thnx for takin your time to do this

Whhhaaat? You're kidding, right? You're just saying this to make an old man look real stoopid, eh?

no really handsoff...hover the lot next to the bridge and rotate it before you plop it... rotate it to the proper position. i think its the page up and page down buttons to rotate. ignore me...lol read below to see which keys

[pilotdaryl 25]

It's the home and end keys, actually.

actually pilotdaryl...if you go back two pages in this thread youll see my first attempt at this. which was posted over two weeks before your thread was started....not to be competitive. And as i said  before this idea is not mine nor are the lights im testing. nor are the textures. the model is mine. its not about competition really,. though that can be fun. its more about sharing ideas, contributing and see what you can come up with. Without copying ideas we would get nowhere. just do your best and always remember to give credit where credit is due.

I've tried that, the result - see pic below - it always tells me the square is already occupied. Tried it with both the industrial and the recreational set. BTW: how far appart and how high doe ramps have to be before SC4 lets you use a bridge?

HandsOff,

Pegasus created those sets, not BuddyBud. PEG's lots unfortunately do not have any pieces for extending under bridges. Also, lots cannot be placed under bridges. With offset rendered props, people can fake the look of objects extending under bridges.

I know most of the rules here, but due to 21 pages, would someone point me in the way of where to download this so I can use it

[HandsOff 0]

That's what I thought - yet somehow he did it with Pegasus' lots. Thus it must be repeatable. I tried his suggestion of turning the lots and got no results. And the PEG lots have no offset props as far as I could tell..

@Adm Lee J.E. Braden: Buddybud's walls are already on STEX, except for his many concept models.

@HandsOff: MasterPlanMan was the one who placed PEG's walls under the suspension bridges seen in this picture: https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//underbridge3.jpg. The lots are placed to the left side of each bridge. The pieces that were used are the Inner and Outer Corner lots of PEG's RTK III with the high walls.
In your case, you would place a set on each side of the bridge with the seawall props overhanging to underneath the bridge. The seawall props were rendered slightly below ground level, so the ground around the lots needs to be lower than the lots for you to see the props.

[buddybud 63]

thanks swamper for addressing this...just got back from work...cheers

[sorchin 18]

Hey buddybud. Again great work. You mentioned there is a way to light extended props I believe. That I can do as long as the prop is offset and on a lot at least 2 meters away from eash edge. Are you saying it can be done without doing this?

Thanks my friend. Have a great day...BTW thanks Swamper77 for your input as well...

As always, Swamper77 to the rescue. You ought to go and get a teaching job, highly paid, of course, at the SC University.. Thanx..(again)

Awesome work there BB, but I think a 45 degrees slope is unrealistic it should be arround 20 and maybe 2 tiles deep.

[buddybud 63]

ok ok...here ya go

and it in use

im going to lower the lighting a bit.

sorchin is this what you mean? the lighted prop fully extends past the lot.

if this is what you want to know i can help ya though its only in testing as of now.

ill pm you the modding technique if your interested. anybody for that matter.

This is excellent work. I am going to definitely download this and do more complex urban developments! Thanks!

[Sim shady 12]

This looks excellent buddybud! i like your new slope better. can't wait for this things release
